Avon firefighters to raffle scooters

Thursday

The firefighters association is raffling off a matching pair of Flyscooters Il Bello 49cc scooters, which get about 80 miles per gallon, and helmets.

The Avon Firefighters Relief Association and Danny’s Scooter Shop want to save people a lot of gas money for a good cause.

That is why the firefighters association is raffling off a matching pair of Flyscooters Il Bello 49cc scooters, which get about 80 miles per gallon, and helmets. Ten $25 gas cards will also be given away, said firefighter Michael Hardiman, who is organizing the benefit fundraiser.

Il Bello is Italian for beautiful, fine, handsome, lovely persons or things, according to the Chinese manufacturer’s Web site, www.flyscooters.com.

Anyone with a driver’s license can drive the 49cc scooters, which require a $40 RMV sticker that is good for two years, said Diane Park, who with Dan Kourafas last month opened Danny’s Scooter Shop at 105 Memorial Drive (Route28) in Avon.

“The bike is just gorgeous,” said Park.

Hardiman said raffle tickets cost $50 and there are 199 tickets. Proceeds will benefit the Avon Firefighters Relief Fund and the Jimmy Fund, he said.

Tickets are available from Avon Firefighters Relief Association members and at Danny’s Scooter Shop, or by calling Hardiman at 774-292-9737.

A reverse drawing will take place at 1 p.m. on Sept. 20 at Danny’s Scooter Shop, he said.
